Inuyasha

"It’s about a Japanese myth. It goes on and on, but one character’s grandfather had a black hole implanted in his palm. And every male descendant has a black hole in his palm. The character is called Miroku and he’s a Buddhist monk. He turns the black hole from a curse into a weapon. He sucks things like monsters into his black hole, and he uses it for good. That was a character that I was real interested in. I found a lot of children’s books on black holes. One I didn’t include was by a physicist—whose name will go unmentioned—who tells children that if they visit a black hole, they’ll never come home. I thought that was grim."
